SMALL PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C).
• Fill a cup with 3 tablespoons of ice water and set aside.
• Mix together the flour and salt.
• Pour the 4 tbsp melted butter into the flour mixture, and blend together with a fork until the mixture is crumbly.
• Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
• Use a fork and then your hands to form the mixture into a ball. When the mixture forms together but is still a bit crumbly, it's ready to roll out.
• Sprinkle some flour on a clean surface and roll out the dough, constantly flouring your rolling pin.
• Roll the dough out until it's at least 2-3 inches more in diameter than your pie plate.
• Carefully place the dough into a 6 inch pie plate smoothing it out inside the pie plate and letting the edges overhang. Click here for a 6 inch pie pan.
